I don't know if NorthernMonkey's comment proves he doesn't have a sense of humour or not. On the one hand, he doesn't find the site funny. On the other, he says something so ridiculously untrue it has to be a joke.

This childish, playground sort of politics doesn`t do politics or the Conservative Party any good at all.
Instead of trying to win power from the gutter I think the party would be better off trying for the moral high ground for once. Actually show us that they are a potential government and not a bunch of childish schoolboys.

Sally, I had you down as a demure respectable middle England lady but your response to Jack Stone is as good as Margaret ever used to give Neil. The Stones of this world seem to live on a planet where everyone else but the Tories can say what they like.

The Cameroons don't have the policies you crave, but they will be in office next year, and then the bluff will be over, and Buffett's line about nude people being hidden when the tide is in will apply.

Amazing, I have wasted at least 10 precious minutes of work time today bombarding all my friends with this rather clever piece.

Eric Pickles and all the other leaflet-loving luddites in the party (still far too many of 'em) should be made to sit in front of a computer screen and type in e-mail addresses until they get the point!

Brown lives on deceiving the electorate and the fact that he still has a sizeable majority. As we cannot unseat before he is forced by his party to call a general election, the best thing to attack him with is a bit of humour - something he so obviously lacks himself.

All very well, but we have a once in a hundred years financial disaster on our hands.
I would rather see some serious and brave contributions as to how we should go about remedying this situation and leave the jokes to the comedians

Much though I hate to say it, this is one of the very few occasions upon which I agree with Jack Stone. This is not because there is no place for humour in a Conservative campaign; in such dire times anything which lightens the gloom and depression must be a good thing, however, in this particular instance, we have (almost) the whole of the media clamouring for an apology from Brown and this particular initiative looks too much like a Conservative attempt simply to climb onto this band waggon, it also evokes memories of the "Demon eyes of Blair" campaign, which was of dubious benefit. I think it would be far better for CCHQ to run a different campaign along the lines of "It's too late to apologise now Brown, the damage is already done".

Mmm - its clever and funny BUT will it resonate with the lectoate who according to this afternoons poll by a very big majority believe polticians and the media should now move on from "should Brown say sorry" and concentrate on more important issues.I really do think that out there in the real world people are vey worried about the situation and I think we have got to be so caeful that we don't give a hint that we are as a Party spending our time dreaming up clever stunts like this. I guess though I'm in a minority of ONE on this.

Yes exactly Richard! People should stop having a sense of humour, don't you lot know that for every comedy post a person makes on-line another bank dies!

Additionally an on-line poll has shown that as soon as you post on the internet you instantly become an expert in everything from Economics to Medicine and even Relationships problems! Also an email I received had a very comprehensive wall of text that proved that the greater the volume of serious and brave comments on a message board in relation to a problem the greater the chance that that problem will be spontaneously fixed! This is true as I read it on the interweb.

If you really want to make a point about something for which Brown's not sorry, create an image of 1.3 million Iraqi war dead scattered around our Marines' flag-draped coffins. That'll get the message across.

Sally I thought the Tory Toffs campaign was dreadful. I think the public is really looking for something more than this now. I think they want someone to start to offer them more than this punch and judy style politics. They want people to treat one another with respect and concentrate on policies not personality`s.
I think this one trick pony that the party as at the moment of trying to blame Brown personally for everything is just becoming boring.I wonder sometimes if the leadership keep banging on like this because they really have little more to say.

I'm in a really uncomfortable position because I find i'm in agreement with NorthernMonkey and Jack Stone. It's not a nice place to be for me.

On the plus side:-
This is a good use of web technology, a la Obama, to attempt to create a viral-style email campaign that resounds well against Gordon Brown. More of this kind of thing will be great, but...

On the negative side:-
The actual attempt here is childish, petty and poorly done. It does not cast us in a good light, even if it provokes chuckles from some.

There are two problems with it. The biggest one is that it appears to have been put out throught the machinations of HQ. This is unseemly and lacking in gravity, not the sort of thing that showers them in glory. I've got no problem with humour, but this sort of thing is inappropriate from head office.

My second problem is that its just badly written. Whoever conceived it (the text) needs to find something they are good at to do for the party. It should either be serious, or funny, but it tries to be both and fails dismally. It's 'funny' isn't really particularly amusing, it's 'serious' jars with the style of the piece. Its very amateur in design.

Next time do it right. Don't put it out from HQ but let an independent supporter (like ConHome or others) do it. When this sort of thing is done by activists it can get away with more without making the party proper look bad or have anything to answer for. Also, let's hope somebody with some talent and comic ability does the next one. If it were actually funny it might be less tragic.

Don't know why people are being so Po-faced about this! Political lampooning is a very old tradition which goes back centuries - just think of James Gillray and others! Why should this be any different?
Brown is a control-freak who will never admit he has done anything wrong - let alone apologise and for this alone he deserves our mockery!

"Mr Brown has repeatedly refused to acknowledge any responsibility for the economic downturn, putting the entire blame on America’s financial services industry."
